The next day came almost too soon. The night had been quiet with only a bit of clamor that had happened closer to midnight when Klarian had opened up for about three hours for business. Upon waking, everyone felt as refreshed as a daisy after a gentle shower. Everyone shared in a filling breakfast for free that consisted of several slices of toast with an egg in the middle, two plates of bacon, a plate of mini sausages, a bowl of mixed fruits, veggies and berries, and their choice of drink being milk, water, orange juice or a dark mixture resembling coffee.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWccXct4zIG

After eating they made their way to the battle grounds, not having any incidents on the way there from the still sleeping towns people. When they arrived, the hardened ground had been cleared of obstacles except for a few rocks. There were ten stone columns in a wide circle. Outside this circle stands five stone seats, similar to bleachers one might see in a gymnasium. The group approached and spread out to look around the seemingly barren area of vegetation. "This is a pretty roomy setup." Ivan commented as he stepped inside the wall-less circle.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoURrcYwoD
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyzjcYYtBx
Klarian smirked with a small shrug. "Well of course it is. Gotta have room for full grown dragons and other large beasts to move around." He explained with a helpfulness to his tone as he walked with Ivan.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9awhNzjn7u
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBsd5yCXn8
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8KuXepokR
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82jDUAVYMa
"Given the lack of walls to keep anyone from running, that would make sense. Why else have an arena for battle without walls if you didn't ask people if they wanted to join in?" Amber questioned and Ivan nodded.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e5Egk4MFo
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa46NSqdrzJ
Klarian chuckled as Amber then began to hum a tune that told many tales of war between humans and dragons for a metal throne of swords. "Something like that, one could say." He took a step forwards and folded his arms as he looked around then up at the brightening sky. While Amber was walking around humming her tune, Ivan noticed faint markings on one of the pillars so made his way over to where Faerthurin was to see if there was anything similar.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LKKPwrc25
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GerK8nFYm
During this, Kross admired one of the columns carvings while Jaylen caught a few more winks of sleep's in his messy hair. "Must have had a steady hand and put in a lot of time." He quietly said to himself before stretching and walking over to another one of the columns. Oin rubbed his chin as he surveyed the area. "Hmm...something feels off." He eyed one of the columns then looked to Jeminya who oddly Shiloh had decided to keep company currently. She ran her hand over the column with her face twisted in pondering. "You sense something off as well?" the dwarf asked as he made his way over to her.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCLXfVJ5U2
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wk1GPyD3f
Jeminya nodded. "Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly. There is something here so I think keeping our guard up is wise." She kept her voice quiet while glancing over to a relaxed Klarian.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgl1nQcdru
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCx5nr6spq
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XESQfOMYg
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NbWE3srTj
On the other side of the battle grounds, Ivan was checking out a column as Faerthurin was a couple pillars away with Lucid hopping about the top of the several foot tall pieces of stonework. Ivan circled the stone structure as his face twisted in curiosity. "Hmm this is unique." He eyed and touched the carvings as he stepped around the column again to see that it did circle around. He went to the one to his right and also checked it. "Same carvings..." he looked to the dark elf that was now a column away to his right. "Hey Rin, can you tell me if these are magical?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRytHZjEJo1
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qx21ASOG5
"Huh?" Faerthurin looked and made her way over to Ivan with Lucid following and looking down on them, his head twisting left and right. "Now what are you asking about magic?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k7SvApGvu
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL8FfwfYdN
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hMSZfHVSx
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePMqEoBdos
Faerthurin's eyes widened as she eyed the marks over. How in the heck did I miss those? she wondered as she made her way around the column to see what Ivan had before swiftly making her way back to the pillar she had previously been boredly looking over. They match... she looked over to the left, right and behind her at the surrounding columns. I bet they also having matching symbols.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNgHQOy45A
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7btF9i0gN
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwwd5ytmeZ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHMHn61MvU
She looked the carvings over closer and nodded. "Yes, they are used in containment spells and enchantments to hold things in." She released a breath and folded her arms as she looked up the tall pillar. "There is a magic inside this one and likely the others as well, given how they share the same markings." She looked around and then to Ivan. "Which explains the lack of walls if this magic is indeed containment."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXBqiEApOk
Around one of the seating structures to the east walked Jalerom and Rose, checking out the way it appeared to be carved mostly out of stone with some wood used for some of the sitting area's. "How long do you think it took them to carve these?" the half elf inquired with a gaze to the party then to Rose when she spoke up.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsitlZwwWh7
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM6XmIAvkK
"Probably quite a bit of time. Say maybe a few days even with magic for all of them together." Rose put her hands behind her head as she spoke and looked up while turning her head to look towards a different set of seats. "Say...does any of this seem...a little off to you?" she questioned slowly before setting her sights on Jalerom.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTvUQsxZhC
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcBfb7hry6
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5xNuZ9i75
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn0JtqR0Wz
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuhKshL413
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwLKGnx9fP
"Maybe..." Jalerom pondered as he folded his arms and turned his head down some. "...Perhaps they know some kind of shield spells that are maintainable for the length of a standard fight?" he looked up to meet her kind orbs. "Maybe there's magic in place like what was on those collars back in the Directian dungeons."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyDjOw3KOi
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMq8GLV0dR
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSQ5sDM3tV
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL0UsPbuwW
The rogue shook his head. "I don't think so." He lifted his arms over his head and stretched. "So long as negotiations don't fall through, we should be perfectly safe and if things come to worse...we will just fight our way out as we run."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bvkYpKFbW
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSjFwy2WAx
Moments later, loud footfalls echoed and the ground trembled lightly before gradually growing stronger. As the one responsible neared closer, Jaylen hissed which drew curiosity from Kross as Jalerom, Faerthurin, Oin and Lucid looked towards the north west. "And I think we are about to maybe meet the owner." Jalerom commented. This brought Rose to look at him before following his line of sight, waiting anxiously.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSPtSAv3Vj
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9VbooH7CO
Jeminya and Ivan were the next to look over. "Is this guy a giant?" Ivan quietly asked as he positioned his footing to stay up as the ground shook again.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm68Uk1aBb
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT3shKDvu6
"Doubtful," Jeminya answered as she folded her arms and felt a nuzzle at her right by Starjay, making her by habit to gently stroke his nose with her left hand. "Given how we've mainly only seen reptile type creatures, I don't think we'll run into giants. There aren't even any giant slaves after all."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkus9jLuQh
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoq7lRzm8d
Rose's eyes widened as the owner neared closer. "What a magnificent dragon but...how did he get one of those?" she whispered aloud to herself.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNx1OvNQUD
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqBWEJ6p2i
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKHYcgLKFV
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxURoLyCB
She nodded with her eyes remaining on the beast. "They are beasts that enjoy their solitude and being alone except during mating season. Their breath weapons are unlike any others."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5owuXybUvO
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZA22OctyY
"What is their breath weapon?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq24Vs97lr
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwxRgpJ6Qw
"...I think I recall it being able to paralyze a target caught in their smoke." She replied flatly as her gaze then shifted to its rider.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgupKqy7185
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yVATrG9S0
Kross, Amber, Jaylen and Shiloh were the last to finally spy the new person. On the black dragon's back was an armored man, dressed somewhat in the style of a knight or general of an army. On his back flexed out wings of a dragon. His feet were not clad in armored boots but more the shinguard's came down over top of his scaled feet. The man, after the dragon stopped, straightened his back and his yellow scales could be seen on the tops of his feet, clawed hands, neck and around his face. His slit yellow eyes scrutinized the mixed group spread out. "Hmm...this is an interesting mix of creatures, now isn't it?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MoPXtNPzX
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghLjfoAoV
Klarian stepped forwards unfraid of the man. "Good morning, Devion." He came to a stop before giving a polite, yet sweeping, bow. "How are you this fine morning?" he inquired with a tone dripping with charm as he rose from the bow and flashed the armored dragon a grin.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeCRBuKCJz
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegxbOhqBsq
Devion dismounted as the dragon sat down. "I'm doing fine...half-breed." He flapped his wings a bit before landing as carefully as his words had been spoken. "Let's cut to the point, Klarian. How do you plan on any of these people getting your collateral freed from my hold?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2dzKlvKqW
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvDV3sKpMr
Klarian opened his mouth to speak. "Excuse me, Devion was it?" he closed his mouth and looked to an approaching Kross. He watched the ranger with confusion. "We have come to ask you how exactly these battle grounds operate." Kross stated while motioning around the area, now standing beside Klarian. "We would also like to make a deal with you to settle dear Klarian's debt."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL24D0Le7zZ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRA4oFyK3Z
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8DH0Fw0sa
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi4N4cHu3l
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4wRmuToKD
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkcUjPwkb
Silence filled the air around them as Kross and Devion stared each other down. After several moments, the air finally was broken. "The battle grounds work like any other arena intended for combat. Participants are pitted against one another and the last one left that is able to fight, wins." Devion then folded his arms. "He owes me at least seven thousand gold in failed bets." He shifted his weight to one side with a cocked hip. "I don't see it being settled especially," he motioned towards the group, "not from such a mixed party such as this miserable one."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1nwlxSFLz
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VNhUA4sbp
Kross closed his eyes as his resting lips curled into a cocky smirk. "Heheheheh," he took a breath and opened his eyes to lock with Devion. "Try us."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8NmI54WYw
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2T91b3ZbB
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdansDa4omn
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljbcz6eZJ4
"Because we've all faced many terrors and horrors before arriving here. I doubt you can throw anything at us that we can't handle."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm7TBlDzNJ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhnd2lOgVa
Silence filled the air once more as Devion pondered this, rubbing his chin. His sharp orbs scanned the group one more time before resting on Kross. "Alright, I will accept your bet and here are the terms of our little deal." He cleared his throat. "If you win then I will erase his debt and release his brother, free as a bird. If you lose then his debt remains on the books and his brother in my cells." He approached Kross as he unfolded his arms. "Plus your party becomes part of my pets to use in combat as I see fit." He stopped in front of the ranger and offered a hand. "Do we have a deal?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dSWm8lIjJ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nLfOcejn2
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUtCuUN6u
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5vOeQsYAI
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQvG02lLl
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9AqbRdEeD
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPbDjOSRWF
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAzjLiH2DY
Devion chuckled smugly as they each released the others hand. "This should be fun. It's been some time since I last had fresh meat to use in battle." The black dragon loudly yawned from boredom and laid down outside the columns for a nap. "I am feeling generous so I will allow your group to pick two fighters to participate."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9CoDMyMJs
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6KiLN9dAF
"Thank you for your kindness." Kross turned and made his way to the center while the others came to meet him. "Okay, so which two of us wants to fight against whatever he might send out?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczyd1OS1cc
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUObzQqf55k
"That really depends on what he'll be using. Will it be his mount or something he has yet to bring out?" Faerthurin calmly questioned in her matter-of-fact way.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO5jIsxRbu
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse5wI8mI67
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJogEMB7Dl
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kxBWOV5IM
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEch1jpvtC
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL1CRepgjD
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaZTjZJxvU
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS56XoArbJ9
"At least we know he isn't going to use his black dragon." Ivan pointed out both assured yet concerned simultaneously. "So there's one good thing."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPeBcE5wQk
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9XyuuTeWj
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmzUnr4PEe
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4YpCx1g5B
Oin cleared his throat. "If we must simply outlast his pet, then perhaps I have a suggestion. How about Amber and myself take this fight?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqNyebMYGl
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHEkod4FYZ
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxZtbGWhw
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfSaGhItZF
"Also we both have a decent track record of taking damage longer than the rest of you." Oin finished before looking over from Amber to the red horned queen.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozBClGpNcp
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtePTprv9OT
Jeminya huffed lightly as she put her hands on her hips. "Well excuse us for not being a walking cannonball." She retorted with a small smirk forming from Oin's response.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEnumsMe10
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTvqzU0PQ
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xiKBWzAri
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7w9jAfmK0
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhvPJB7SRP
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d4ycX7yYa
Devion yawned while shifting his weight to his other hip and unfolding his arms. "Are you lot done deciding on which two will represent your fate?" the party turned and nodded with Oin and Amber stepping up. "Good," he motioned to the seating. "The rest of you may sit and watch your freedom slip away."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytZE3yAGQP
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMca1mz47SW
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFfAboZ2Pz
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGDqhn7Mka
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxrcJDxJYZ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qFJ43DxM
"Come on Ivan, you can hug your love interest after she wins." Rose called out and Ivan broke the hug, and gave a quick wave as he ran over to the stone bleachers to join the rest of the party. Once it was just he and the duo, Devion looked back over his shoulder and gave a whistle. The black dragon shifted its tail and thumped it hard on the ground once before going back to sleep.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq2TzXCl4T
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh3aDr8gvF
Amber stretched her arms above her head before twisting her body left then right. "This feels like the first fire elves trial." She looked to Oin as she brought her arms down. "What do you think we're facing?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlNoMNOP0
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ2l8foMof
"No idea but if it follows the same rules, even if killing is allowed, we just need to incapacitated it and we win. Shouldn't be too hard with my spells and your size." Oin answered as his neck cracked when he tilted his head left and right.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf3BHQhzw7
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iJFgSErCr
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XBiYpoLLU
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KDH5Dsqyc
Shortly after that, the ground lightly trembled as a large beast came into view. It was making its way to the battle grounds while being lead on a chain by a silver scaled male. As it got closer, it was clear to see it stood about six foot five and was covered in white fur to resemble a wolf. When it came to a stop, it looked to measure around fourteen feet in length as it lowered down, stretched out its tail and snarled at the duo. The scaled man removed the chain and quickly made his way out of the combat zone.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREXCGCXCtb
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWUGXaicQb
Devion stood proudly beside the snarling beast and stroked its side. "Magnificent, isn't he? He did cost a good bit of coin but I think it was worth it."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2vndKpkq5
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zrh37HTTF
The party stared in shock at the sight with some having their jaws dropped. "What in the world is that thing?" Faerthurin questioned while mentally noting the dragon horns on its head and the way its pupils narrowed similar to a dragons.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprhbJeskiQ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuqnZ6Vswd
Rose couldn't tear her gaze away while her mind went through all she knew about animals. "...I don't know. I can't remember anything that fits it completely." She scanned it over again to notice the spikes on the top of its tail and the talon looking claws. "The fur and claws are fitting for an arctic type wolf but the size and other features fit more with a dragon race." After a moment more, Rose lowered her head slightly and her tone of voice fell into one of great displeasure. "I don't think this creature was made naturally by nature."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqLYokU9Gq
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epQotbNsH
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnctEU8P1oi
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEBD9a8Kn8
On the battle grounds Devion patted the side of the beast. "Do you all like it? I call it Dragof, since that reflects both sides of him."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPvJx6o86f
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJoLFnLWBG
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMixd6gPUB
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb07ylSV0l
"You'll find out," he glanced over towards the focusing dark elf, "sooner or later I would suspect." He smirked as her inspecting gaze turned into a glare upon him of disgust. "Now then, the rules are simple." He began as he set his sights on Oin and Amber. "There will be no magic allowed but natural skills are permitted."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg5LbRogZO
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCivf2dxB
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw2dXRxako
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdxrIYC4rn
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp9DxPh0sv
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3IcfxEcFa
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcorVfDqif
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEvcSRoeCY
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIEPY2qu7S
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzcSqKWl3r
The dark elf rubbed the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. "Kross, just sit down now. He's not worth your energy...not right now at least."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps3tvLqhMJ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiqw5xFlim
"We can rub it in his face later when his little trick backfires." Rose added and looked over to a concerned Ivan. "You too. Amber will be fine." The two males slowly sat down displeased and worried.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLua6iWfdcX
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMKxChasPF
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPhXSXdEl0
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAW2NE5TWf
"We'll get through this. We've gotten through fights before without using buffs and we will again." Oin calmly replied as he readied for battle.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42DQSPTHqy
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8CiRMo2Gi
The owner gave his beast another stroke. "Have fun and you may have a tiny treat during this fight." He walked away from Dragof to stand outside of the columns. He lifted his hand into the air. "Ready?" his hand began to glow along with each column's carved symbols. "Begin!" simultaneously as his hand dropped with his words, magic shot from one column into the next, flashing at the end after the transparent walls had been set.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd64tMJuJ1d
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhulKt7TQx
Once the fight began, Fae was glaring daggers at Devion with a deep frown on her face. Ivan and Rose looked away from the battle and at Faerthurin. "Um are you okay? You look more annoyed than normal." Ivan inquired.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbsE8r3vcC
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd8c88CtAS
"What have you found out Rin?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb7VlGmTr2
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFX8qYTKwH
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf6X48Jamr
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Xns62Pmn
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MwQ7xkItc
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m2vKzVaIa
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDGr0l4VqU
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTfD4USByD
"I asked Rin if she could figure anything out about Dragof since I couldn't recall anything to pin down its species." Rose explained as Jeminya looked to her.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBYde5z4OD
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesJW6qFp26
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCzdCmuERF
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj7VGGuqN2
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7VsSFpIvl
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjugtBPZRRT
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhsUDgO2xx
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP9bzNNAdb
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNUeTeZZUq
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0evOUHxSm
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXGx8POi00
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79xVeYYb0W
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZYTeRcmnf
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWlJwvXV3Q
She took a breath and sighed. "Someone fused an arctic wolf and a dragon together using ritual magic. That type of practice was banned because most times those used were in a constant state of suffering." She set her orbs on Dragof. "It was seen as inhumane so was banned and those caught practicing it can be arrested, tried and jailed."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBHhUgpMXt

"That is definitely not a good thing." Jalerom turned his attention back to the battle. "But they should still be able to beat it, right? And maybe if it is in pain then we can put it out of its misery."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevB6SMpcTN

Rose tensed at hearing all this and her fingers curled into tightly gripped fists. Shiloh at her side quietly whined and nuzzled her as he placed his head into her lap. "I don't think I want us to work with this race anymore."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDxpD9uhT

"We don't have much of a choice. We need alliances to face my sister and have a better chance of not dying." Jeminya reminded.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs1C55cLyG
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsxFlDCBTZ
"I don't care!" Rose slightly snapped as she stared down the tiefling with anger. "They are going against nature and have caused two innocent creatures to become a monster, and for what? So they can make a profit."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb1KMD2zBQ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV1MeF421L
Ivan stood and moved closer, coming to sit between Rose and Jalerom. "Rose, I know it's not right but we need all the help we can get."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNwOK2hZHX
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDycBHcBoJZ
"There's no place we can send it so it can live happily if it isn't in pain. If it is in pain then it's just another creature needing to die needlessly because of human greed."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71HtOTUklf
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwL5N6WC6
Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaQkPxfo0c
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBcNDugIWo
Jeminya nodded. "Kross is right. We don't know who used that spell so in the way of use, the yellow dragons could be in the clear."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSeGINcysz
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw0LnCTd4w
"But in the court of knowingly buying a man-made creature? They are guilty as charged." Rose flatly stated.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5SXurge5
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXPXyPQt3k
"Unless they didn't actually know." Kross muttered before turning his attention back to the fight.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidmeaM7WWQ
648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2mJwG7YNO
Rose scoffed and began to pet Shiloh's head. "Oh they knew. There's no way they didn't know and they deserve no praise for it."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRKZtM2D5
